BANDAI Digimon (Original) Translucent Purple - Virtual Monster Pet by Tamagotchi, 41855

Having gotten the original ones back in the day, I was pleased to see that they re-released them albeit I was a little late, as I missed the 20th anniversary and the first two waves! Compared to the older ones (v1 and V2) You have to put your name in at the start and the time, there's a decent roster of monsters from each version that you hatch, grow and train to be the best battlers and strongest monsters. You can also train two Digimon at the same time, making tag matches a thing. There is a journal feature, to keep track of each monster you have trained, there is a extra growth tier to Mega digivolve through a process called Jogress. You can send a copy of the monster you trained to a friend and vice versa and once you tag battled with the copy 5 times, you can fuse the monsters into a new one. There is a fight feature if one doesn't have another Digimon and so you can gain victories with the game's inbuilt monsters. There are two secret eggs one can acquire and involves linking with five or more Digimon with different trainer names. Or you can get a second one or find a friend that is willing to stop and rename their device name several times in order to get the same result. Remember to give them a different name though or it won't count. I have to wait for my second one to arrive so I can see what monsters I can battle...and also to get those eggs! Again to get different Digimon you have to experiment with different factors such as care mistakes (no more than 4 per 'stage' or it will die) training and feeding (and you have to redo that after each digivolution.) To morph your monster pal into many forms when it's time to digivolve.

Amazing little gift my partner loves it

Glow in the dark feature is a gimmick, a simple backlight would be a welcomed & cheap feature to add. Aside from that it's an excellent little VPet, with a great selection of eggs. The only other complaints I'd have is the lack of a freeze feature, which the Digimon X has, and the fact that you have to own multiple versions or have friends with different 20th anniversary versions in order to unlock half of the eggs. If they added a backlight to make the glow in the dark feature more than a gimmick and added a freeze function I'd have given this 5 stars.

Takes me back to being a kid . Just as I remembered

It's great. Colour is more pinkish than red

Was not the Glow in the Dark Ver E but the translucent purple Ver D, which I already own. I don't mind too much because if you have 5 different devices with 5 different names you unlock the extra mons and the device itself is solid and fun, but not the right kind that was advertised.

works out of box reminds me of the one from childhood good price battery lasts for months absolute fun blast of nostalgi also glows in dark

So good!

Es un tamagotchi de toda la vida solo que de digimon, vino en buen estado y fue un regalo que gusto mucho

Ich liebe Digimon und sammle eigentlich alles vom Franchise und das tamagotchi ist super. Genau wie früher

One of the best Games existing

Mi sono svegliato questa mattina ritrovandomi in un misterioso mondo parallelo. Le creature che popolano queste terre sono strane così come anche i paesaggi che circondano il tutto. Una soffusa quiete sembra regnare in questo villaggio dove un piccolo vecchietto di nome Jijimon fa strambi discorsi... forse a causa di una velata demenza senile. Parla di Digiprescelti... cose così... come dire... di altri tempi. Ad ogni prescelto "dona", dietro "modesto" compenso, un apparecchietto di plastica simile ad un piccolo televisore. In esso vive qualcosa. Un amico virtuale... una marcata nostalgia di tempi lontani. E pigiando quei tasti un poco imprecisi si torna bambini, si assapora, ancora una volta, quella sensazione di fanciullezza dove la realtà si mescola ai sogni e i colori dipingono il grigio. E, a volte, una lacrima discende la guancia per far ricordare che il tempo, purtroppo, è trascorso. Lacrima benevola che non vuole avvilire: rivoli di gioia nel riscoprire sentimenti assopiti... e mai dimenticati.

Works exactly as expected
